Seal impression, Ur (Upenn; U.16747); Porada
1971: pl.9, fig.5; Parpola, 1994, p. 183; water carrier with a skin (or pot?) hung on each
end of the yoke across his shoulders and another one below the crook of his left arm; the
vessel on the right end of his yoke is over a receptacle for the water; a star on either
side of the head (denoting supernatural?). The whole object is enclosed by 'parenthesis'
marks. The parenthesis is perhaps a way of splitting of the ellipse (Hunter, G.R., JRAS,
1932, 476). An unmistakable example of an 'hieroglyphic' seal.
